Ready for a fun, interesting read, one that crosses cultures and makes you laugh? If so, jump into Who Is Mr. Plutin?, a new novel by author Rebecca Strong. I picked it up and couldn't put it down - for here is a heroine somewhat like the rest of us, who blunders around, tries her hardest, and is stunned at the way her life has turned out. It's a tale of Russia and New York, of memory and spying, of family and money. What I love most is that this book is relateable - for despite crossing cultures - and socio-economic status - it gives us a look into what it might be like to be extremely wealthy in Russia - and how the life of a 20-something in New York City can fit into that worldview. Rebecca Strong does a remarkable job of creating an interesting heroine, and filling the background with equally interesting characters, including Russia herself. I love this book, for it made me think, laugh, crave blini, head to the Hermitage website to look at art, and stay up late, reading. It's that good. Highly recommended!
